The wicked one has claimed Country Joe McDonald at the age of 84..
He popularized the anti-Vietnam song 'What are we fighting for' - that's how we called it in the islands at the time, but it's official title was "I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin-to-Die" etc.
Man, we are losing so many 60s warriors..
MAY COUNTRY JOE McDONALD REST IN A PEACEFUL HIPPIE PLACE FOREVER. AMEN
Signed: great counterculture song though.. wonder if it influenced Jimmy Cliff's "Vietnam", a very underrated anti-war song...grimreaper
